Erythrina cristagalli Lectin (ECL/ECA) - Semi-Pure
Price: Regular price $178.30
Product Description
Erythrina cristagalli lectin or agglutinin (ECL/ECA) is fractionated lectin consists of two subunits with molecular weights of 28,000 and 26,000. ECL binds to carbohydrate structure in membrane and serum glycoproteins of mammalian cells. The shape of the lectin binding domains may resemble cavity type with Gal?1->4GlcNAc as the core binding site with additional one to four sugar subsites and is most complementary to a linear trisaccharide. Some Gal?1-related oligosaccharides are the major structures for lectin binding. Lectin binding activity can be abolition through salic acid substitution. This allows for specificity to fractionate and isolate mammalian glycoproteins.
